The origins of JourneyingBeing able to change our brain waves for visualisation journeys by using a drum beat or another rhythmic impulse is an ancient skill that has been used by native Americans and other tribal communities all over the world for thousands of years. Nowadays, it is a practice that anyone can enjoy and find valuable, regardless of their religious or spiritual belief.

How Visualisation Journeys workHave you ever noticed that you have the best ideas and find new solutions to old problems when you stop thinking too hard and just relax? Drum Journey meditation is one way to make use of this phenomenon. The beat of the drum fosters our ability to stop thinking in a logical way and open ourselves up to a different way of being and perceiving.
Scientifically speaking, participants change their brainwaves from alpha waves (our usual way of thinking) to beta or theta waves (this is how the brain works when we are sleeping or meditating). Drum Journeying is a bit like dreaming – the difference is that we are fully awake and can take an active part in the journey. We can ask questions and state our intention for the journey, and then receive targeted guidance and new vitality. |
Jeremy recounts the story of his Visualisation JourneyThe purpose of my meditation was to seek guidance on how I can find more clients for my catering business. When the drum started, I was guided to imagine myself walking in a lovely garden. I was told to look around to see whether I could find a bird or another animal, and sure enough, there was a spotted woodpecker. I introduced myself to the woodpecker and asked him whether he could show me some answers to my question.
He invited me to come and fly with him, and we both took off high into the clouds. Up there, I saw a neon sign, bright with red and yellow colours. Nothing written on it though; it was just a blank board. Woodpecker told me to write my name on it. I did not know how to do this, and I asked woodpecker for help. He plucked one of his feathers and used it as a writing pen. His ink was a drop of blood that had come out from his skin when the feather was plucked. He gave me the feather and told me two write. I felt reluctant and shy to do it. Woodpecker kept encouraging me. Finally, I wrote my name on the neon sign, and it lit up even more and started to turn. Then I heard the call-back signal of the drum, Andrea told us to give our thanks and say our good-byes. Then I went back to the garden and into normal reality. |
What did the journey teach me?
I noticed that I had been reluctant to believe in myself before this meditation. Yes, I wanted to put my name ‘out there’, but I was not self-confident enough to really stand out from the crowd and believe in the quality of my offerings. Woodpecker taught me that I had to be more self-confident and really put more of myself - even a ‘drop of blood’ - into this business. This was a real boost for me. I keep imagining the neon sign and I still see it turning and shining up there - a good reminder that I ought to believe in myself.
